I had a PV-11 for several years. It was a wonderful preamp, and had a wonderful MM phono stage. I had C-J go over it and bring it up to original spec for $200(!). Ultimately, I had to sell it because the balance control did not have enough range to deal with my room, source, and software channel imbalances (yes, I am obsessive about a well-centered soundstage). Also, I wanted, and got, a preamp with a remote control. But as far as sound quality goes, the PV-11 was a wonderful piece of kit.
